Of course, these were all jokes.

Chen Lin's intelligence and learning ability are quite high. However, the Soul Guidance Device Science that Chen Hong has established is not yet perfect and lacks a lot of basic knowledge. As a result, when Chen Lin studies the Soul Guidance Device Pattern Science that Chen Hong has compiled, he is always unable to understand the context of Chen Hong's words, which leads to deviations in his understanding of the logic.

Fortunately, Chen Hong was patient enough, and Chen Lin was eager to learn and refused to be defeated. It took Chen Hong several days to finally help Chen Lin understand Chen Hong's Soul Guidance Device Inscriptions. The rest was up to Chen Lin to practice and summarize, and finally fully comprehend it.

"The core of soul tool technology, soul tool runes, has already been developed. I still need to take some time to train a few more beginners and let them teach other students. This way, I can get rid of the low-level repetitive teaching."

Under the midday sun, Chen Hong stood beneath the research building of the Soul Guidance Device Academy, looking up at the withered and flourishing vines clinging to the wall in front of him.

A bewitching yellow-purple halo flashed in Chen Hong's eyes. Then, the thousands of green vines in front of him began to move slowly, and finally a delicate branch emerged from it, affectionately brushing against the hem of Chen Hong's clothes.

Chen Hong smiled and followed the guidance of the delicate branches, soon spotting a root that had just emerged from the soil in the corner of the wall.

"Your plant-shaped 'Sage's Ring' is really difficult to make, but luckily I've come up with a new approach."

Chen Hong walked to the corner, squatted down, and took out a crystal the size of a human head, covered with dense golden runes, from his spatial soul tool. He mixed it with the core root of the Withered Glory Vine and reburied it in the soil. Then, he whispered to the Withered Glory Vine's weak spiritual body with his spiritual power: "Sage Crystal, whenever you want to apply the Sage buff in the future, just inject your soul power into it, and the Sage Crystal will apply a Sage buff to you."

Chen Hong gently soothed the Withered Glory Vine in his spiritual realm. Since his last return, Chen Hong had planted the vine's roots in the corner of the Shrek Academy's research building. Plant spirit beasts possessed truly formidable vitality, especially the Withered Glory Vine, a special plant spirit beast with a modified core root. With Chen Hong fertilizing it with a considerable amount of spirit beast corpses he had acquired, the Withered Glory Vine quickly regained its full strength.

Moreover, compared to the half-dead state that the Withered Vines were in before in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Withered Vines are now clearly more spiritual, and the vines are also green, which symbolizes vitality.

"Alright, stop wasting your breath talking. Focus on recovering your strength first. We'll talk again once your mental power is stronger."

Chen Hong gently comforted the somewhat jubilant Ku Rong Teng. Due to its weak mental state, it could only communicate in simple, intermittent ways, which Chen Hong himself found very difficult to understand. Therefore, he did not force Ku Rong Teng to say anything more.

".Thanks."

A faint mental signal appeared in Chen Hong's ear. Chen Hong nodded to the Withered Vine, and then glanced at a certain spot in the middle of the Withered Vine's vines. He saw that the Shadow Falcon's egg inside was still incubating, and there seemed to be no sign of it hatching in the short term, so Chen Hong stopped paying attention to it.

Instead, he used his mental power to say to the withered vine, "If this bird egg is about to hatch, remind me."

The withered vine swayed its branches, indicating that it understood.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hong simply smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned around and walked towards his research lab, took out a book called "Soul Ring Theory," and headed towards Shrek Martial Soul Academy.

"Raising spirit beasts is actually simpler than you think, especially plant-type spirit beasts which are less aggressive and are particularly easy to raise."

Chen Hong followed the grassy, ​​gravel path inside Shrek Academy, slowly meandering around the small lake within the academy, while analyzing the recent state of the withered vine in his mind.

"One noteworthy point is that the Withered Vine seems to have mentioned that its soul power enhancement speed has increased significantly compared to the past. It doesn't know the exact amount, only that it has increased significantly, which is a noteworthy issue."

"From the wild boar Bajie, the withered vine, and even the berserk baboon that temporarily broke through to the thousand-year realm, I seem to be able to draw a bombshell conclusion: the sage state seems to have the additional effect of allowing soul beasts to quickly break through their realm. No, it should be the effect of quickly absorbing soul power."

"Then...why?" Chen Hong, carrying a book in one hand, walked along the small lake inside Shrek Academy, his eyes full of deep thought.

"Wait a minute, if for a Soul Master, the level of Soul Power is the realm, then for a Soul Beast, the level of Intelligence is the realm."

Suddenly, Chen Hong remembered his new understanding of the two completely different paths of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts—cultivating the soul and cultivating the mind—and immediately began to change his thinking, allowing himself to consider the various wonders exhibited by Soul Beasts from another perspective.

"If a soul beast cultivates the mind, then a soul master who cultivates soul power will impose their own way of thinking onto the soul beast, and the result will be that they will never be able to unlock the deepest secrets of the soul beast."

"Furthermore, if a soul beast and a soul master are clearly closely related, but neither realizes that their cultivation paths are completely different, then naturally neither side will understand the other, and they will waste each other's time and energy, unable to reach a consensus."

"If the realm of a soul beast truly refers to its 'heart,' then the Sage state undoubtedly strengthens the soul beast's 'heart,' which manifests in the soul beast as an advancement in its realm!"

"This also explains why the Sage state doesn't accelerate the cultivation speed of Soul Power for Soul Masters. For Soul Masters, Soul Power represents their realm, and improving their 'heart' doesn't affect their Soul Power realm, so it naturally has no effect on them. Furthermore, since human Soul Masters are born with a high 'heart' realm, the Sage state doesn't significantly improve them; it only makes their minds clearer."

"Enhancing the 'heart' of a human Soul Master is like amplifying the Soul Power of a Soul Beast with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—it's a drop in the ocean and cannot achieve the desired effect."

"However, these effects are completely different when applied to soul beasts. Under the blessing of the Sage state, the soul beast's 'heart' is temporarily enhanced. Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can boost a combat soul master by one realm, a hundred-year-old soul beast in the Sage state has actually temporarily possessed the realm of a thousand-year-old soul beast!"
